So………what do throwers do to relax when not throwing heavy objects around the place?

Well some of them lift even heavier objects!
At the Irish Drug Free Powerlifting Association national championships in Dublin last weekend there was 2 prominent throwers from the club in action as members of UCC Powerlifting Club
Laura McSweeney won her category in both the Bench Press and the Deadlift competitions, her lifts were both new National Records and qualified her for the World Championships in June.
Although it wasn’t possible to set World records at the event, both her lifts were better than the current World records for her category, so will head to World Championships as a real contender in both events.
Patrick McSweeney placed 3rd in his category in the Squat and 4th in both Bench Press and Deadlift events.

Well done to both.
